Al Purdy was nominated as "The Voice of the Land" by the Canadian League of Poets.
Al passed away Apr 21, 2001, date now known as Al Purdy day. Gord Downie honours an important Canadian poet, so he too is a senstive man. Al and his wife Eurithe hosted many poets and writers at their Ameliasburg home. Art transcends, love rules!

Well I am sorry to have missed out on the thumbs up...No nothing wrong with an opinion. Well I am glad that you can enjoy their music, that's great!
Well what made me stop listening to most music is when it lost it's magic, pretty much that's all it took....
Peace

I grew up in Trenton in the 70/80's. Most of the bad influences on us was because of the Quinte Hotel. The first time I drank a beer was at the Quinte, I was 15. Saw my first stripper at the Quinte. Saw Varouge, Helix, Max Webster and many more at the Q. I even had a gun pointed at my head one cold January night in '79/80 by a undercover police officer. They were getting ready for the first of many big raids in Trenton. It didn't seem like it then but looking back it was a scary fucking place.

This isn't Gord and it isn't Alan Purdy: the poet in question is Alfred Wellington Purdy, better known and published as "Al Purdy".
